I need some help with this question as it is part of an essay for my college course and wondered whether anyone has any particular expertise or knowledge in this area.

Hi @AdamW1 and @CockneyRebel, there's some really thorough information on the social model as opposed to the medical model of disability on Scope's website. Hope this helps!
